For those keeping score, this was what I wrote down in my moleskine yesterday at the Glendale In N Out:

I was living in the Gdale, pre-Disney, slave wagin’ it up at the now ghost town Borders and Brand bookshop simultaneously. 5 years ago. I was at this very In N Out w/ my pal (and fellow Borders employee) Steven, when I came up w/ the idea for my cartoon, Samurai Nanny. The World’s Greatest (and Only) Samurai Babysitter. Since then, it’s gone thru many changes, many execs and cartoon companies have expressed interest in Sam Nan. I have strengthened and gained friendships because of it. I have lost friends over it. 5 years is a long time to live w/ an unfulfilled idea. It’s time I set the Samurai loose for y’all to see! I’m thinking about returning to the original storyline, Samurai Nanny’s heart, the core of his tale. Producing it as a comic book/graphic novel.

Here is a great Samurai Nanny animated promo by the equally great animator (and good friend) Avi Tuchman!

Click this to see Samurai Nanny in Action!

Avi co-wrote, co-directed, and animated this promo as a pitch accompaniment for yours truly. Terrific music by Brian Barrale, and sfx by Michael Schmidt. 

Thanks Avi, Brian, and Mike! No one’s seen this before, so let us know what you think in the comments!

Yesterday, I did a series of Live tweets around Silverlake & Glendale on my main account, Lumber. This was part of it.
